CWA, AT&T West Reach Tentative Agreement

The 22,000 Communications Workers of America (CWA) members employed at AT&T West will soon vote on a new contract after a tentative agreement was reached late last month. The workers are employed at AT&T operations in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri.

Contracts between CWA and AT&T at six divisions expired in April. CWA members at AT&T Midwest (15,000 members), AT&T Legacy (5,500) and AT&T Southeast (22,000) have ratified new contracts. Separate negotiations are continuing with AT&T West, covering 18,000 CWA members in California and Nevada, and with AT&T East in Connecticut, covering 3,000 members.
